OOCreditsThanks go to Coach Stewart for the Uncle BrINClHOF mnemonic. The syllables reminded me of the song Father Abraham.

Thanks go to Coffee Anderson for the fun version of Father Abraham playing in the background. Please watch his great dance video here so you can do the motions while you sing Uncle BrINClHOF.
